“Guilford (Large NC County) appears on it’s way to a third consecutive year with annual jobless rates in double digits. Economists say that likely hasn’t happened since the Great Depression.”…Greensboro News Record December 2, 2011

“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”…George Orwell, “1984″

In case you have been wondering why the latest NC unemployment rates have not been presented here, there is a reason. The unemployment rate in NC for January 2013 was just reported a few days ago. There was no report in February 2013. I still do not know why. Perhaps there was pressure to delay it. I can understand why.

Thanks to the Greensboro News Record for reporting this and placing it at the top of Saturday’s, March 23, 2013 issue.

“Unemployment rates rose in each of the state’s 100
counties in January, showing that many communities continue to
struggle with a sagging economy.

Guilford County’s rate rose from 9.6 percent in December to 10.3
percent in January, according to figures released Friday by the N.C.
Department of Commerce.

Rockingham County’s rate jumped from 10.8 percent to 11.7 percent.

Randolph County’s rate was 11.1 percent, up from 9.6 percent in December.

At 20.4 percent, Graham County had the state’s highest unemployment
rate in January.”

“Statewide, rates rose in each of the 14 metropolitan areas.
Unemployment in the Greensboro-High Point metro — which includes
Guilford, Rockingham and Randolph counties — rose from 10.3 percent a
year ago to 10.6 percent in January.

Unemployment rates dropped in 30 counties compared to the same month last year.

However, unemployment increased in 63 counties compared to a year ago.

The latest numbers show that many communities continue to struggle
economically, said John Quinterno of the Chapel Hill-based economic
research firm, South by North Strategies.

Here are the report schedules from the North Carolina Department of Commerce Division of Employment Security. Note there are non from February.

“Previous State Unemployment Rates

Date Title
3/18/2013 North Carolina’s January Employment Figures Released
1/18/2013 North Carolina’s December Employment Figures Released
12/21/2012 North Carolina’s Unemployment Rate at 9.1 Percent in November”

“Previous County Unemployment Rates

Date Title
3/22/2013 North Carolina’s January County and Area Employment Figures Released
1/30/2013 North Carolina’s December County and Area Employment Figures Released
1/3/2013 Unemployment Rates Rise in 81 Counties in November”

“Although the numbers are not directly comparable, local labor markets
across much of North Carolina began 2013 no differently than they
began 2012,” said Quinterno. “Simply put, unemployment rates remain
elevated across the state, and twice as many North Carolinians are
jobless and seeking work than was the case five years ago.”

Remember, these high unemployment rates do not include the thousands who have dropped out of the labor force. Finding a recent percent for this stat has been elusive recently but I will will find it. Stay tuned.

Wait until our brothers from VFW are ready to act. They are putting together a preliminary organisation,which like Wild Bill advocates whose mission it will be to act in small groups who can strike and fade away quickly, thus keeping the monstrosity off balance,and confused. While the enemy is off balance and confused their armories,and arsenals will be erased one by one. When this occurs THE PEOPLE will no longer be chasing wheels and barking…………they will be BITING…….HARD.

Over at the ORYR site: “Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer seemed to indicate Thursday they’d consider a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico “natural-born” and eligible to run for president. Their comments, directed at Puerto Rican-born Rep. José Serrano (D-N.Y.), came during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on the Supreme Court’s budget.”

I would like to know what Mario Apuzzo thinks of this suggestion. I could see where (for now without the legal analysis) this might be acceptable since we are talking about U.S. Territories controlled by the U.S. Federal government/laws. Maybe…. Thoughts anyone?

But for the EU, IMF and Cyprus to agree taking funds from mostly foreign investors – those with over 100,000 Euros or more to pay for their failed socialists policies, will have devastating effects on future wealthy investors as they will rethink their investments. It will be a guarantee that no investor will ever again place money into their banking system or invest into that region. This is not something to be praised and frankly quite frightening as the IMF has far too much power, to take what it wants from whom it wants. Cant happen here?

I don’t know if this is true or not, but a friend of mine was explaining to me that within the new gun rules for the mentally ill clauses, includes anyone that has ever been treated for depression and given a anti-depressant prescription drug, ever in their life-time.

Last night, my two youngest children came running into the house saying the night sky lite up Green, Yellow and Red? Another meteor is all I could think of. But I don’t see anything in the news or online. This would be the South East of Tennessee, Chattanooga area.

I agree with you entirely. But where I’m confused (reason I’d like Mario’s legal opinion) is that those born in Puerto Rico have U.S. Citizenship from birth, thus if parents are U.S. Citizens, then he would be too, and therefore qualified. Least is what I’m reading now.

“Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer seemed to indicate Thursday they’d consider a U.S. citizen born in Puerto Rico “natural-born” and eligible to run for president.

Puerto Rico is US soil, and it’s citizens are US citizens. They are born as US citizens, under the Jurisidiction of the US government. They have no other claim to foreign citizenship. Therefore, if someone is born in Puerto Rico of two citizen parents, on soil, they are Natural Born US citizens.

I don’t understand the conflict here, as they are US citizens born under the jurisdiction of the US government, on US soil, unless the parents are not US citizens.

I agree William. I do wish someone who call the Supreme Court’s bluff. The only one with enough of a spine might Sen. Cruz. I had hoped that Rubio would petition the courts for a determination as to his eligibility. He is staying away from it. The SC might consider tweaking the definition of NBC to include children of refugees of a country that had been taken over by a dictator. Cruz does have argument that his father (fled Cuba during revolution) has no allegiance to Cuba and his mother is American Citizen. He could argue that birthplace is irrelevant if both parents have no allegiance to foreign power. The Court could rationalize that Founder’s concern was solely with foreign allegiance. I hate to see the SC ignore making decisions because they are PC whipped.

With all of our technology, flood the satellites which North Korea uses with a propaganda video of our own blowing the hell out of that country and mass military invasion. Grant it only 2 percent of their population will see, at least the leaders will. Fu.k um.

“The lone assassination pumped several bullets at point blank range into Assad,” said the source. “Assad was rushed to Al-Shami Hospital in Damascus in critical condition. He died on the operating table from heart failure resulting from massive blood loss.”

An Israeli security analyst believes the report to be accurate.

“In the last 24 hours have we seen Assad? Any photographs or video? No. Nor will we see any as loyalists who are closest to Assad have been threatened if any leaked photos or reports reach Western media. Iran is attempting to take control of the Syrian army and its wealth of weapons as Syrian solders are now deserting in mass. I don’t believe that the West will allow any Iranian control of Damascus.”

“There was a reason why Barack Obama visited Israel. And it was not for a photo op with Miss Israel. I don’t think Netanyahu would apologize to Turkey or to anyone. But if it was between a dead Assad and saying sorry to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan I think there was no hesitation in making that telephone call to Ankara.”

The Israeli analyst said that several events have taken place in the last 24 hours including the Syrian army shooting at an Israeli border patrol unit. It is believed that this action was coordinated by Assad loyalists who stood outside the dead President’s hospital room to deflect the global media from the assassination and to pull Israel into a war with the Syrian army. The leader of the Western-backed Syrian opposition coalition announced he was resigning.

Moaz al-Khatib didn’t detail what motivated his decision, in a status update made on social media Website Facebook.
But he did say that he now had the ability to “work with freedom that cannot be available within the official institutions.”

Al-Khatib also said the international community has failed to adequately support the rebels’ fight against Assad.

Opposition members from Syrian’s President Bashar Assad’s Alawite sect demanded his overthrow today and urged their co-religionists in the Syrian army to rebel.

“We call on our brothers in the Syrian army, specifically members of our sect, not to take up arms against their people and to refuse to join the army,” the delegates said in a news release after two days of meeting in the Egyptian capital.

The Israeli analyst said that the Israeli army is on heightened alert in the North and the US is moving a battle carrier group off the Syrian coast. That the US would not tolerate any further action by Iran inside Syria and has warned Iranians to leave the country.

“Assad had complete and total support from both Iran and Russia. They backed Assad in his bloody campaign which resulted in the loss of over 70,000 Syrian civilians. No one helped those Syrians except for one country – Israel. They have taken in dozens of wounded Syrians across the border who are now being cared for in Israeli hospitals.”

“We can expect to see a photo of a dead Assad within 48 hours. There are many phone cameras in the pockets of those guarding his body. One of those photos would be worth almost a million dollars to the one getting that photo out to the Western media.”

Puerto Rico is not a part of the union of states and the people there do not pay US federal income taxes!! “Subject to the jurisdiction” is part of the language of the 14th amendment – an amendment which has nothing to do with natural born citizenship. They may be citizens by virtue of the 14th GRANTED to them through man made law in the past (they were not granted citizenship originally), but they are NOT natural born citizens of the United States of America. PR being a territory does not make it a state. A NBC needs no law to change them into a citizen when they already are a NBC. Need everyone be reminded that all NBCs are citizens (of course) but not all citizens are NBCs??

to truth now ,
alan west is a phony and a coward . he states that he cannot challenge the obama identity fraud because he may want to run for a political office some time . for heavens sake , you would advocate a coward and phony like that to be vice – president of the united states . what have you been smoking or what are you smoking ?

Roseandpeony,
I believe you are exactly right on this. Territories of the U.S. are not equivalent to states in the union. However, watch for more wishy -washy stuff on this by the courts in the future.

It was his plan all along to destablize that region, creat problems for Isreal and obtain as many countries for the radical (Al Quadia backed) Muslim Brotherhood as possible…..

What’s next Mr. Obama….the United States of America?
*****************************
RM,
We are seeing that plan being fulfilled right before our eyes, and we all here know the answer to your question. I, too, am greatly disappointed in Col. West, who is obviously placing politics above statesmanship. It is very sad to see a military man sell out to the enemy.

Here they go “pushing the envelope” again! Is there no end to these excesses?

Obamavote: Healthcare application registers voters too
The 61-page online Obamacare draft application for health care includes asking if the applicant wants to register to vote, raising the specter that pro-Obama groups being tapped to help Americans sign up for the program will also steer them to register with the Democratic Party.

do you remember Alexander Haig? There seems to be a lot of military men now days that are in the game only for their personal gain! Half of the General officer corp should be forced to resign…
*****************************
RM,
Yes, I do well remember Haig – another politician in service uniform. I think that probably most of the top brass, at least those at the Pentagon, have sold out, but what do I know? 🙂

RMINNC………..
I think that there are a lot of us here who had the upper echelon crowd figured out ….LONG AGO. I don’t even bother to look at those cowards,or read anything they have to say, because they are ONLY INTERESTED in their OWN STATUS. But as we all know their so called status could become “UNEMPLOYED” at the drop of Soetoro’s hat. Their suck up behavior is obvious since all have a very large brown spot on their noses.

“Has anyone watched the Documentary: Why in the World are they Spraying? Someone gave it to me and they highly encourage people to copy it and pass it on. Very good and news needs to be out. Almost incredible but absolutely nothing surprises me anymore!”

I am hopeful that I will live long enough to watch the LIBERAL Soetoro SUPPORTERS PUKE THEIR REAR ENDS UP when they learn that they too are going to finally face REALITY. Many will be crapping their drawers and crying ………MOMMA! MOMMA! Many of them are bastards who need to have a rifle but shoved down their throats.

that too is my desire too my friend…..

it hurts like hell to know our country has fallen from within. The enemy has never been at our gate…….but the wolf has invaded the sheep pen..

are there no more hero’s left in America anymore…..is no one willing to put it ALL on the line for their children and grandchildren? Apparently not !

I posted a video similar to yours awhile back, and it gained no traction. I can’t believe that nobody takes notice. It is criminal.

Where I live, it is 36 degrees right now. Yet it is not raining, but snowing…pretty fine particles. This was unheard of in my younger years.
And like the video says………..where are those blue skys we used to know?

John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6 am .

While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).

He then put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA ),and designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA ).

After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA ), he had bacon (MADE IN AUSRRILIA), and eggs (MADE IN CANADA).

He then sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO ) to see how much money he could spend today.

. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN ) to a radio (MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS (from SAUDI ARABIA ) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another disappointing, discouraging, and fruitless day checking his Computer ( made in MALAYSIA ), John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL ), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE ), lite up a cigar (MADE IN CUBA), and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA ), and sat there wondering why he can’t find a good paying job in AMERICA

NOW JOHN IS HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM HIS PRESIDENT……….who was (MADE IN KENYA)….

“This is the start of a series of posts that will lay out what we know from the evidence thus far. The series will answer or propose answers for some of the questions that have perplexed us for a while. It makes sense once the puzzle pieces start to come together. Virginia Sunahara’s death certificate provides the key evidence to unlocking what has happened.”

“If America descends into deep racial violence this summer, one media figure above others will deserve the award for making it happen, ABC’s Matt Gutman.

A year ago this week, the story of Trayvon Martin’s killing Feb. 26, 2012, was still largely contained in Florida. That would change when Matt Gutman, a “Break-Out News Hottie” according to one gay blogger, entered the scene stage left.

On March 13, 2012, Gutman tweeted, that neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman “shot 17yr old teen bc he was black, wore hoodie walking slowly.” Gutman had clearly established his template before he had seen any evidence.
…
… The case is falling apart. Gutman and pals have already started modifying their reporting, but at the end of the day, the more excitable parts of America may not be in a mood to listen.”

“Three black men in New Orleans stalk and stomp a man almost to death. They laugh. They linger. They beat him some more. They move on. Then return and kick him in the face.

It’s all captured on video.
…
“It’s called the “Knockout Game.” Go Google it because it’s happening all across the country, but the lame stream media is very silent on the subject.”

The Times-Picayune does not allow comments that would make this beating part of an epidemic of black mob violence all over the country documented in the book “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.”

To notice racial violence is to be a racist, so say the editors at newspapers across the country.”

RMINNC………Re 5:46 PM
Do you know why every element of the story has a different country of origin? Because that is where the original American company decided to go because the labor costs in the US have risen to a point where the American businessman can no longer compete with the foreign manufacturers already operating. If you can’t beat them …..JOIN THEM. Organised Us labor has made statements that they would rather be without jobs than work for less money…………so be it, they asked for it so Wonder Baking obliged the union aholes. Now 36,000 of them HAVE NO JOB. I would have to say that the Bakers Union really stuck their foot in their mouths. Sort of reminds me of when Reagan FIRED a hell of a lot of union a$$hole air controllers, who thought that they were running the country. They too learned the HARD WAY!.

Sadly the legacy of a union goon is such that after he passes away his life’s accomplishments will amount to NOTHING,except having screwed up the business landscape so badly,that American businessmen can no longer compete against their foreign counterparts. Many small countries are now offering US businesses HUGE sums of money.and often even a manufacturing place for extremely low figures, along with guaranteed low labor costs. In addition NO ORGANISED LABOR. A business man puts his own well being on the line,when he sanctions organised labor. If your product costs you $20.00 each to manufacture, you can’t sell it for $ 10.00, to compete with foreign manufacturers. A manufacturer who gives away his products will NOT REMAIN in business very long.

I guess if we look deep enough at anything we can find a Parallel. But here is another answer to up is down. If a pilot thinks in these terms he has a 50/50 chance of being the first person to arrive at the scene of his
crash.

B.H. Obama is not the son of a Kenyan ‘goat herder’. He is the son of the American, radical, communist, Frank Marshall Davis. A simple DNA test would prove this fact, but an even easier test would be to view the birth certificate in the vault, in Hawaii, and verify that it is the same as the birth certificate B.H. Obama posted on the Internet for the world to see.

But insisting on his right to privacy…..even after posting this document on the Internet…….B.H. Obama steadfastly refuses to let any doubter, of this document, to personally verify his published document. And thus proving, to a reasonable person, that he has posted a fraudulent document to hide his true identity.

Until 1974 the American Psychiatric Association said that homosexuality was a mental illness. Sigmund Freud alluded, several times in his writings, to the fact that homosexuality and paranoia are inseparable. Then in 1970, activist representing the homosexual way of life began to protest, and by 1974 the American Psychiatric Association no longer viewed homosexuality as a mental illness. And what a reasonable person must understand is that homosexuality was removed from the list of mental illnesses, not because there was some cure or scientific discovery, but it was removed only because of a vote by the trustees of the American Psychiatric Association. This vote was prompted by the turmoil caused by activists homosexuals. So suddenly, without a cure, all the mentally ill homosexuals were normal persons. “Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, a psychiatrist and member of the Catholic Medical Association, observed that there is evidence that homosexuality is itself a manifestation of a psychological disorder. Fitzgibbons says the disorder is accompanied by a host of mental health problems, including “major depression, suicidal ideation and attempts, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, conduct disorder, low self-esteem in males and sexual promiscuity with an inability to maintain committed relationships.” And because America is a moral country, one must give some weight to the Judeo-Christian view, found in the Bible, Leviticus 18:22. I will not go further into this, but I ask that you do your own investigation into homosexuality, and decide for yourself if this is something that you want promoted by the Federal Government.

Again, “So what if B.H. Obama is a homosexual? He is the elected President of The United States of America. He can be a homosexual, and he can be a non Christian, or a Muslim. So what?”

B.H. Obama can be a homosexual, he can be a non Christian, and he can be a Muslim. But he can not lie to the American citizens about himself. And as he is not the son of the ‘goat herder’ that he has portrayed himself to be, he has lied to the American public, and like Richard Nixon before him, he needs to either resign or be removed from office.

When one builds upon a weak foundation……no matter how beautiful the structure atop……in time…. the ‘house’ will collapse, and the deception will be known. And the sooner the deception is known the less damage will be done.

Susan Daniels discusses her experience with an Ohio Judge who seemed to think it was his job to represent her opponent when they didn’t show up in court. Daniels also said the official transcript omitted inappropriate comments from the judge.

Morning folks. Over at the Western Journalism site there is an article on Waco, 20 years ago. It is a grim reminder of what the Federal Government is capable of doing.

The Waco attack began on February 28, 1993 and the stand-off lasted 51 days. The Feds pumped CS gas into the building with women, babies and children and elderly. There were only a few survivors as the compound was burned to the ground.

I had a friend in Texas who was a journalist working for a Texas magazine. I went down to visit in 1994 and he took me to the Waco site. The place was fenced off with armed guards. There was plack in honor of the ATF killed when they first attacked the compound. It read like something out of 1984 or Chinese Communist propaganda. My friend showed me a position outside the compound with some sandbags laid out in a certain fashion. “What does the look like to you?” he asked. Both my friend and I are Vietnam Vets. I answered, “a sniper postion.” “My thought exactly,” he responded.

It looked like a sniper position was set up to cover the rear exit point so that anyone trying to escape the blazing inferno from the rear exit would be picked off. My friend said he thinks that is what happened. They were hoping to kill them all. The few survivors were intimidated to silence.

Each day the evidence mounts all around us. The corrupt regime gets away with illicit use of more and more power….and law enforcement everywhere (including military) doesn’t question any of it….not a peep? The fence isn’t being built at the border but all around sleeping America. Getting prepared for Ocare hitting the fan?; riots when bank accounts here are robbed?; et al:

I know, I know…..it doesn’t sound like something that should be posted here. But watch this important video and share it with everyone you can. The importance of the history of the NRA to Black America and the protection of black people through segregation. Minority democrats should watch and take notice!!
